ANNUAL REPORT 2013-14

TO OUR FRIENDS

Dear Friends,

Thank you for taking this opportunity to learn more about Harlem School of the Arts (HSA). As one of this nation’s most valued and vibrant arts institutions, we provide ACCESS to superior arts training FOR ALL CHILDREN, whether they are inspired to come through our doors for in-depth after-school arts programs, or are enriched by the quality of our arts curriculum in their schools. HSA is open to all – regardless of income.

Since 2011, HSA has worked to develop and execute a five-year, capacity-building strategic plan with vigorous public support from the Harlem community, City of New York, Ford Foundation, and other major stakeholders. Now in its fourth year, this plan has allowed us to operate responsibly – within our financial means – while continuing to extend our mission to meet the growing needs of the children we serve across the greater New York City metropolitan area. Our accomplishments during this time have been transformative: we’ve restored and increased our scholarship endowment; recruited an entirely new board of 20 dedicated and engaged civic leaders; and provided quality arts training for 35% more children both on-site at HSA’s Herb Alpert Center and in NYC public schools. None of this would have been possible without extraordinary leadership support from the legendary musician and philanthropist Herb Alpert, in honor of whom we renamed our Harlem home.

In 2013-14 (FY14), HSA offered nearly 4,000 students a diverse array of quality artistic programming in four distinct art disciplines: Music, Dance, Theatre and Visual Arts. Among the year’s successes and milestones:

• HSA awarded $408,000 in financial aid and merit-based scholarships, eliminating any financial barriers to quality arts education for 100% of our eligible families for the second consecutive year. • The income of our annual fundraiser more than tripled, with over $750,000 raised as we honored Lawrence Fishburne & Gina Torres, Ford Foundation, and Christopher & Janice Savin Williams. • For the second year, our students were able to work beside a GRAMMY award-winning musician, our ANNUAL 2013-14 | HARLEM SCHOOL OF REPORT THE | ARTS Artist-in-Residence Arturo O’Farrill. • Our graduating seniors earned a 100% acceptance rate to universities and colleges on full and/or partial scholarships in both 2013 and 2014. • Student enrollment increased to serve 1,046 children at the Herb Alpert Center through both our summer camp and on-site classes.

As you read through Harlem School of the Arts’ 2013-14 Annual Report, we invite you to share in our successes because they are your successes. We are protecting the future of the arts for every child – today and into the future. This is a great time to be a part of the HSA family. Join parents, students, alumni, friends and donors, and discover why a future in the arts begins here!

Sincerely,

Yvette L. Campbell Charles J. Hamilton, Jr. Esq. President & CEO Chairman

1 A FUTURE IN THE ARTS BEGINS HERE

THE VISION Harlem School of the Arts envisions a world where ALL children have access to a quality arts education, empowering them to become the creative thinkers and innovative leaders of tomorrow.

THE MISSION Harlem School of the Arts enriches the lives of young people and their families through world-class training in and exposure to the arts across multiple disciplines in an environment that emphasizes rigorous training, stimulates creativity, builds self-confidence, and adds a dimension of beauty to their lives.

THE MISSION IN ACTION Harlem School of the Arts stands apart among the premier arts institutions in New York City as the sole provider of quality arts education in four different disciplines: Music, Dance, Theatre and Visual Arts.

HSA enriches the lives of young people and their families in Harlem and the Greater New York City area by providing: unrivaled on-site arts instruction; vital outreach partnerships with New York City schools; quality performances and exhibitions that attract diverse audiences to its dynamic cultural arts facility; and prominent guest artists who actively engage the school’s community in the creative process through workshops and master classes.

Through these enriching activities, HSA creates opportunities for both children and adults to fully experience the benefits that the arts can bring to their lives.

THE RESULTS HSA is a family-focused anchor in the heart of the Harlem community. Its vital programs fulfill the need for arts training and programming, youth development, and community-building among the racially, socially, and economically-diverse populations that live side-by-side throughout Harlem, greater New York City, and the Tri-State area.

Harlem School of the Arts is committed to empowering young people across a diverse cultural and socio-economic spectrum. Despite state and city requirements that make arts education a mandatory part of the curriculum, many schools have no arts programs. HSA is the only arts resource for many of the children it serves.

Equal focus is given to both students who demonstrate exceptional artistic potential, and those who simply enjoy creating art. HSA believes that sustained quality arts training enables children to become confident and creative thinkers – no matter what profession they eventually choose – and effective global citizens.

TODAY AT HSA ANNUAL 2013-14 | HARLEM SCHOOL OF REPORT THE | ARTS Harlem School of the Arts, at the newly named Herb Alpert Center, is thriving. It annually serves approximately 4,000 young people from across the greater New York Metro area. From its humble beginnings with 20 children taking piano lessons in the basement of St. James Presbyterian Church, HSA has blossomed into an extraordinary cultural institution that has served more than 50,000 students over the last 49 years, many of whom directly credit Harlem School of the Arts for having changed their lives.

“The turnaround of the Harlem School of the Arts has been astonishing. The faculty, staff and Board have fulfilled their commitment to restoring a dynamic, fiscally responsible school. It’s beautiful to see how the array of multi-disciplinary classes open doors of opportunity to the students, who are thriving on self-expression, training and performance in the arts. The students come for the arts education but, at HSA, they also get to participate in an exceptional arts community.”

7 THE ARTS & HSA’S IMPACT

Since its inception, Harlem School of the Arts has directly impacted the lives of three generations of New York City children, creating a legacy of enrichment and achievement in all areas of life. By participating in high-quality arts education, HSA students benefit from higher academic achievement; increased motivation, engagement and self-confidence; improved skills in collaboration and public-speaking; and enhanced abilities to think critically and problem-solve creatively.

Recent research indicates what Harlem School for the Arts has known for nearly 50 years: that providing access and equal opportunity to the arts to low-income students helps level the playing field.

“Arts-engaged low-income students are more likely than their non-arts-engaged peers to have attended and done well in college, obtained employment with a future, volunteered in their communities, and participated in the political process by voting.” - James Catterall, Doing Well and Doing Good by Doing Art: A 12-Year National Study of Education in the Visual and Performing Arts

9 TOMORROW’S PATH TO SUSTAINABILITY

Completing its capacity-building strategic plan is crucial to the future success of Harlem School of the Arts. Underlying this plan is its commitment to ensure quality arts training for every child.

This is an exciting challenge, but it cannot be accomplished alone. It will also take the dedication, personal engagement, and financial support of HSA’s growing family of friends and donors. Only by working together can HSA ensure its lasting place as one of New York’s premiere cultural destinations for the training and empowerment of young people…a place where they launch their journeys to become tomorrow’s creative thinkers and innovative leaders. Their future depends on it.

GROWING NEED FOR FINANCIAL AID HSA is deeply committed to providing 100% financial assistance to every socio-economically disadvantaged child who has the desire to study at HSA. In Fiscal Year 2014, HSA awarded a total of $408,000 in scholarships, of which $223,000 were need-based financial aid scholarships for eligible families who could not afford HSA’s already reduced, partially-subsidized tuition. We expect that by Fiscal Year 2017, the need for financial aid will reach $1,000,000 and that 25% of students will require fully-underwritten tuition assistance.

Keeping up with the demand for financial assistance is a constant challenge. To meet it, HSA is strengthening its fundraising efforts so that it can continue to provide high-quality arts instruction, mentorship, and high school and college preparation to an expanding roster of students.

Our Financial Aid and Merit-Based Scholarship Funds guarantee that students from a broad socio-economic spectrum become peers that support and collaborate with each other.

HSA’s tuition revenue only covers 40% of what it takes to provide its students with high-quality arts programming. These fees are greatly subsidized and are set at the level that best serves the community. 20% of its students benefit from full tuition assistance through financial aid; all of its students - the other 80% - benefit from dramatically reduced tuition.

This means HSA depends on the generous public support of individuals and foundations to cover 60% of its operating budget each year in order to provide its much-needed artistic programs to underserved youth.
